Backhand was created to level the playing field in a world full of commercial
solutions. It is our intention that this project be kept open source and that
all commercial spin-offs contribute their modifications back into the public
source tree. It is not our intent that one will take this software and
attempt to modify it for profit through distribution. We realize that the
license does not prohibit these actions (it was chosen to match the Apache
license so as to reduce complications), but know that by doing so you are
violating the intentions of the Creators. The license is BSD-style for
compliance with Apache and to facilitate wide-spread use.
